Luv Bites

Baby Luv, the illegal kinkajou Paris Hilton was supposed to ditch AGES ago, bit her in the arm. Paris was treated for a superficial bite wound at a Los Angeles-area hospital shortly after 3 a.m. Tuesday, received a tetanus shot and was released a few hours later. No word on what vaccinations Baby Luv needed after the incident.

Paris bought Baby Luv during a trip to Las Vegas, after which Baby Luv promptly attacked her on a shopping trip. Kinkajous are illegal to own in Los Angeles unless you're a zoo or licensed facility so when Paris brought Baby Luv home last year, she received a warning from the California Department of Fish and Game to either move Baby Luv to a place that's permitted or play with her in another state. Baby Luv is also illegal in the state of New York, Paris’ other hometown.

On paper, Paris and Baby Luv look like a perfect match: they're both nocturnal, they aggregate near good food sources and they tend to be promiscuous. In reality, kinkajous scream when they're fed, have a penchant for bare tooth and claw and attack on a whim, bark when they're disturbed and their saliva contains a harmful, species-specific bacterium (still sounds like a perfect match to me!) I'm sure something between Paris attempting to sing and Paris proclaiming abstinence caused Baby Luv to freak the fuck out! [source]
